Ayman's primary source of income is his ownership stake in the family-owned Saudi Oger, Ltd. His role as the former deputy CEO and deputy chairman of Saudi Oger has significantly contributed to his wealth. Besides that, he serves as the CEO and co-founder of Vero, a social network with an annual salary of $129,000. "To have a platform built by people who are all over the world, coming together, not even having an office, we don't have an office at Vero. We work off Slack and before Slack we had to come up with all sorts of tools, to do what we do. It does not really fit. Having this kind of model we are in today for just really focused on what's most important, creating a platform that is an alternative to everything else by not having to give up on our principles at all," said Hariri in an interview with British GQ.

Furthermore, in 2017, Ayman sold his 42% share in the family holding company GroupeMed for $535 million. He has invested in startups through the New York-based firm Red Sea Ventures; among its investments was the smart thermostat Nest, now part of Google.

In 2012, he acquired a lavish mansion in Los Angeles, California, valued at $16 million. The residence boasts ten bedrooms, twelve bathrooms, a screening room, and a wine cellar. In 2020, he listed the property for sale at $38 million.
